Hi
Could anyone help me with the way to remove or replace the boss that seems to clip on to the top of the film advance lever? Many thanks!

It unscrews the opposite way to what you would expect, i.e. clockwise. Use a rubber tool to avoid marking it, and keep the leverwind anchored with your hand to avoid any complications. Go carefully as the shaft of the hub can shear off if forced.
